2.4.1 DAC960 driver bug or what's going on?

Hardware:
A plain and honest Intel BX mainboard (AOpen AX6BC with latest BIOS
update), Pentium II/333, 64MB RAM, dumb PCI 1MB video card, Mylex
AcceleRAID 170 PCI controller, Quantum Atlas IV hard-disks.

Kernel 2.4.1

I want to install the system on the RAID volume, and for this purpose I
compiled the DAC960/DAC1100 driver into the kernel.

Made a boot floppy from RedHat distribution images and copied my kernel
with Mylex support on it.

Here are the relevant messages

Kernel panic: DAC960: Logical Drive Block Size 0 not supported

I really don't know what the other device on IRQ 11 would be, since
there are no other add-in cards than video and RAID controller.

Same thing happened on an EPoX mainboard, before I tried the controller
with this hardware. No matter what IRQ Mylex gets, linux says there's
another device using it. What would be that device? PS/2 mouse
controller, perhaps? Why does it stick to Mylex?

Thank you for your help.
